Good luck to the author with the tutorial. I'm really beginning to accept that despite all of the new languages, like Rust and Zig being available, they won't be able to displace C for the next couple of decades at least. A good programmer will need to learn all the techniques for working with C code safely, efficiently and reliably, with all the inconveniences that implies.
- doublerabbit 1y agoMost older C developers I've spoken to find Go and Python as a fresh breath of air and refuse to head back. The younger generations totally sideline C completely. Myself a non-coder but experienced SysAdmin who can write cool Perl, TCL scripts, C almost feels almost natural when reading it. I just haven't had the time available to dive in. It could be that I was exposed to it at 14 (2003) but chose perl because MSN/Y!M/AOL messenger bots were the discord bots of today. Still, eager to dive in. Some reason Java too.
